Product

Eureka is a patent-pending platform

The industry's first Cost Reduction opportunities knowledge base. Eureka turns Caresoft's deep teardown intelligence and Cost reduction expertise into a living library of validated, ready-to-use opportunities — mapped against your vehicle and your competitors, and delivered before design decisions are locked in.

 

Built for OEMs and Tier suppliers alike. Eureka ideas are organized so they apply at the vehicle level, the system level (e.g. closures, e‑motor, thermal) and the component level — so a Tier-1 supplier targeting a single sub-system gets the same depth of opportunity as an OEM running a full vehicle program.

  • Curated & Validated Ideas

    A growing library of Best-of-Benchmark ideas, continuously fed from 35+ vehicle teardowns and triaged by 100+ technical experts.

  • Intelligence Built-In

    An opportunity matrix shows which competitor vehicles already use each opportunity — with on-demand access to Caresoft technical experts.

  • Benchmarking Data Integrated

    Ideas link directly to the underlying parts in the Iceberg benchmarking platform — enabling competitive analysis end-to-end.

ONLY AVAILABLE WITH CARESOFT
Performance

Nine capabilities, one measurable impact

Each capability takes you from search to applied idea — traceable back to raw teardown data, with expert support along the way.

Authentication using credentials from the Iceberg user-access management module — one identity, both platforms.

traditional development

  • Effort and investment peak too late
  • Key decisions already locked in
  • Costly late-stage changes
  • Lost opportunities for optimisation
  • Insights arrive reactively

with eureka

  • Intelligence front-loaded early in the process
  • Access to benchmarks, cost reduction opportunities and expert insights
  • Problems identified before they escalate
  • Designs optimised before lock-in
  • Rework and late surprises minimised

* Your results may vary based on program and intended outcome.

Disclaimer: The ideas presented in Eureka are developed through internal Caresoft processes of ideation, benchmarking and preliminary feasibility assessment — they are not final solutions and must be independently validated, developed and implemented by the customer. All idea-impact figures, sample ideas, applicability tables and lifecycle savings are directional and illustrative; your results may vary based on program scope, vehicle architecture, intended outcome and depth of implementation. Caresoft may provide additional support on a cost basis, but final validation, implementation and execution rest solely with the customer.
